Beginner’s Method for Solving the 5x5 Cube

Beginner s Method for Solving the 5x5 cube Supplementary to video tutorials at Developed by Feliks Zemdegs Images sourced from Conrad Rider's VisualCube - Notation Due to the additional layer on the 5x5 we need to define one more piece of notation to solve the cube . On the 4x4 cube , an Rw denoted a wide turn of two layers, and this is the same on the 5x5. To notate a wide turn of 3 layers, we simply add a 3 before the Rw. The same principle applies to moves on other faces of the cube . The Reduction Method To solve the 5x5, we will use what is known as the reduction Method . Essentially, this involves reducing the cube to a state that can be solved as if it were a 3x3 cube , by Solving the center pieces and pairing up the matching edge pieces.

a 3x3. The centers you have formed on a 5x5 are equivalent to the single centers on a 3x3, and each group of 3 edge pieces is equivalent to a single edge on a 3x3 cube. The corner pieces are the same on both cubes. Using the outer layers, go on and solve the cube like a 3x3. Congratulations on solving the 5x5 Rubik’s cube! Uw' (R U R' F R' F ...
